阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth — so I decided that my approach must be wrong. I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair？” “Twenty pounds，” I said. “OK，” he said. “I'll give you twenty pounds.” “It's got a slightly broken leg，” I said. “Yes, I saw that. It's nothing.” Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it？” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. ” “I'll buy it，” I said. “What do you mean You've just sold it to me，” he said. “Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I am sorry. I'll give you twenty seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy，” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You're right，” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me？’” “I wouldn't have agreed to do it，” he said. “We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'll mend this for you. Shall we say for five pounds？”
He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

My husband, my four month old daughter and I set out on a five day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.
One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.
Holding my daughter, I turned around and said to the gentleman，“Sir. Are you hungry？” He said, “Yes.” I then asked, “May we buy you something to eat？” He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself.”
My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to.“This gentleman will have lunch with us today，”I said.“Please add his order to our bill.”The manager said with a frown(皱眉), “Okay.” We turned to our table and the gentleman said, loudly and quickly，“Thank You！”We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered. One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.
When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn't see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.

The story began with a young mother who had three sons.Unfortunately, the youngest son developed slow thinking skills, not having the intelligence of his brothers.
With double duty as the mother of the household, she was exhausted, so that the youngest was often the garget of anger and annoyance.Bad words, such as “you little fool” and the like, served as a daily meal for the youngest.
The words and curses he got from the mother and ridicule from friends convinced him that he was distressing and embarrassing his family.Every morning he woke up with his own face staring from the mirror reflection, he started to say quietly and sadly, “The fool is going to school.”
As adult citizens, there was compulsory military service which should be lived.Thus, the youngest son also signed up and started to follow the various tests: a medical, physical ability test and other tests.On the day of the announcement, he was called into the board of examiners.
In his mind, he convinced himself that he was the fool and couldn't pass the tests this time as he entered the room with his head down.It was not expected at all.The tests turned out to have the highest praise from the board of examiners.
“Congratulations, young man! Your test results are incredible! You are really a great and talented young man.” Words from the board of examiners became the discovery of a new side of himself that was not known in advance.Voice kept echoing in his mind, such as “I, the great man, am in the shower”， “the great man washes his face”， “The talented young man again brushes his teeth” and so on.Confidence and improved self image came beyond usual.
20 years later, the youngest established himself as a successful businessman who was admired and respected, and received many awards.
The mindset and belief are the power behind the success that is within us.Whatever we think and believe in or minds continuously, it will eventually materialize in reality.That's the universally applicable law.

For Nigel Portman, a love of travelling began with what's called a “gap year”. In common with many other British teenagers, he chose __36__ (take) a year out before settling down to study for his degree.After doing various __37__ (job) to raise some money, he left home to gain some experience of life in different cultures, visiting America and Asia.The more adventurous the young person, the __38__ (great) the challenge they are likely to set __39__ (them) for the gap year, and for some, like Nigel, it can result in a thirst for adventure.
Now that his university course __40__ (come) to an end, Nigel is just about to leave on a three year trip that will take him right around the world.What's more, he plans to make the whole journey __41__ (use) only means of transport which are powered by natural energy.In other words, he'll be relying __42__ (main) on bicycles and his own legs; and when there's an ocean to cross, he won't be taking a shortcut (捷径) __43__ flying aboard — he'll be joining the crew of a sailing ship, instead.
As well as doing some mountain climbing along __44__ way, Nigel hopes to pass on to the people he meets the environmental message __45__ lies behind the whole idea.
语篇解读：本文主要讲述了一个大学生利用“间隔年”去旅行，以实际行动倡议环保的故事。
36．to take 考查非谓语动词。choose to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“选择做某事”，故用不定式作宾语。
37．jobs 考查名词复数。job是可数名词，且根据其前的定语various可知，此处应用复数形式，表示“各种工作”。
38．greater 考查形容词比较级。根据固定句型the more ...，the more ...“越……越……”可知，此处用形容词比较级。
39．themselves 考查代词。喜欢冒险的年轻人很可能给他们自己设置更大的间隔年挑战。此处与they呼应，故用反身代词作宾语。
40．has come 考查动词时态。now that是连词，引导状语从句，意为“既然”，由此可知事情已经发生，应用完成时，且与语境中的is呼应，故用现在完成时。
41．using 考查非谓语动词。动词use和主语he之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故此处用现在分词短语作伴随状语。
42．mainly 考查副词。副词修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子，在句子中作状语。故用副词mainly修饰谓语动词。
43．by/through 考查介词。根据语境可知，此处表示“以……方式/方法”，与上文中的“only means of transport”呼应，故用介词by/through。
44．the 考查冠词。along the way为固定搭配，意为“在……过程中”，符合语境，故用定冠词。
45．that/which 考查定语从句。此处用that/which引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰先行词the environmental message。
